Industry History
As the first electronic cigarette was invented in 2004 in China, E-liquid, the liquid inside the electronic cigarette,
which is heated and vaporized to create the smoke and the smoking sensation, became the major obstacle of the
market expansion. At that time, consumers were looking for a kind of liquid which can generate large amount of
smoke, while creating great smoking sensation. Jide Yao, founder of Hangsen, spent over 1 year and millions of
dollars into the research of a stable recipe. This recipe defines the use of PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable
Glycerin) as the solvent in the liquid and the customizable nicotine strength and flavor. In 2005 the first batch of
E-liquid was shipped out from his factory. The E-liquid created a huge impact of the market and reshaped the image
of electronic cigarettes among consumers. The new liquid maximizes the smoke and the smoking sensation. Since
then, Jide Yao’s team has been the dominant supplier of the E-liquid market and their products are used by tens of
millions of people worldwide over the years. In 2009, Hangsen was founded to fulfill the fast growing demand of the
international market.
Over the years the recipe has been improved and has now over 200 flavours and different versions tailored for
different electronic cigarettes. Most E-liquid in the world is produced based on the original recipe created in 2005 by

HS (standing for Hangsen).
